Washington Let CT to the Boston Travellerl
 The dashing son of distinguished south ern Senator is also among the missing, hay ing left cloud of debts behind him which will keep his memory green for some time at least in the minds of his numerous Wash. ington creditors.
 His greatest exploit was at the expense of famous St. Louis belle who has been dag zling the eyes of society here. One day the young man met the belle on the street and playfully grabbed her pocketbook. She didn't mind this much, but when he opened it and took out ten dollar note she began to wonder whether it was all joke or not. She ordered him to return it at once, but to her surprise the senatorial hopeful replied that he would see her later. Perhaps he will, but he hasn't yet. The fellow after se- curing the money called upon a young lady who was friend of the St. Louis belle, and invited her out to dine with him. Not knowing of course the preceding facts, she accepted and had a good dinner. Shortly after this episode the town began to grow rather sultry for the young man and he packed up his baggage and left. He hasn't shown his head here since, and the chances are that he will steer clear of this town for some time to come

The Mon oIogMe Drew.


 Frank Lincoln gave his monologue en- tertainment in town in Southern Illinois the other night. The hall was well filled, but the people did not seem very much amused at the humorist's funny work. Af- ter the show a man with Ezra Kendall whiskers stole into Lincoln's dressing room and poured a hatful of coin into the humor- ist's hands.
 "Well, how did the show come of.'' asked Lincoln, trying to shake off the chill.
 "Fair," blurted the committeeman, drench ing the7loor with tobacco juice. "Purty fair show"
 'How did you like it!' "Oh, tolerable." E:Then you have seen better?" ''Sort Q disap'pinted you didn't bring it along We wus all a-lookin' fur it, Did you furgit it2" Forget whats" s'Why, that ere thing you call the mono logue. The feller who came here nigh onto fifteen years ago had 'em in cage, an it | caught on ike-. Have you got yourn al the hotela'' When Lincoln went to the depot the next day he saw that the dead walls bore the pos ters: Frank Lincoln will present his mono legue at-hall night. Come and see it. , This explained the coolness of the audience the night before. They were waiting for the monologue.

Relying On The Eye.

The mispronunciations of readers who have been guided by the eye and not by the ear are often funny enough. A nov elist of the town confessed recently that in all his boyhood he was accustomed to read the word "misled" as if it were spelled ''nizzled,' and brother author who was present confessed to the same error. A Imaginable instance of this was given the other day in a circulating library where one of the readers of the omniverous kind in reading a list of titles came to the we'll known name "Coelebs in Search of Wife" She regarded it thoughtfully for a moment.
 'Cobells in Search of Wife," she read. 'I don't remember that ever heard of that before."
 She was evidently in spirit, if not in body, related to the lady who inquired for "The Hatherway Gentleman" by Miss Muleeh

The Derby Sale.


 The representation of the merchants, man ufacturers, banking and professional men of the city has been an influential one. Tn. list includes the following: Stoddard, Kim berly & Co.,, wholesale grocers; Yale, Bryan & Co.,, wholesale grocers; J. D. Dewell & Co.,, wholesale grocers, the senior member oi which is president of the New Haven Cham Der of Commerce; Merwin 6 Co.,, wholesale pork packers; F. $. Andrew & Co.,. whole sale pork packers and meats; Charles G Kim berly wholesale shippers; O. S. Mersick & Co.,; B. H. Douglass & Sons; Strong, Barnes, Hart & Co.,; E. s. Wheeler & Co.,; Henry Hooker 6 Co.,; Rey- holds SI Co.,; New Haven Wheel Co.,. ;the New Haven Carriage Co.,, Peck Bros. & O.; Henry Hale st Co.,; White, Clarkson 6 Co.,; W. A. Beckley & Co.,; the New Haven Bak. ing Co.,. the Ezra D. Fogg Co.,; George H. Ford and others. Among the banking men are included Harmanus M. Welch, president of the Second National bank; Wilbur F. Day, president of the president of the Merchants bank, and Bun Hell & Scranton. Professional men who have favored the sale include, among others, ex- Governor Charles R. Ingersoll, Henry B. Harrison and Judge Luzon B. Morris. In addition are to be mentioned ex Mayors John B. Robinson L. W. Sperry and Henry Ut. LeWls, Benjamin R. English, IN. D- Sperry, Daniel Trowbridge, Philo Chatfeld Amos F. Barnes, William M. Converse and many others.
 This is the class of men who favor the sale of the Derby road under conditions which have been stated by them and which the Housatonic Valley road has expressed it's readiness to comply with. They represent the substantial business interests of the city of both mercantile and manufacturing character and include the ablest representa- tives of the bar. Surely such an influence is better adapted to appreciate the advantages to be secured to New Haven by the proposed railroad enterprise than that which is precip- itated by interested motives and unfair sus- Dicions

USEFUL INSTR

Some of those who attend the public schools in Boston now have an opportunity to learn how to cook. In the Boston School Kitchen No. there are ten lessons each week in the regular school hours. Each class numbers fifteen and has one lesson a week: the full course is twenty lessons. In the school year of forty weeks there are two courses, so 300 girls take lessons in the course of the year. They come from different public schools, at their own request, with the consent of their parents; they are, almost without exception, interested in their work; their lessons are so arranged that they lose little or nothing in their other studies, and experience has shown that they do not fall behind their classes and that the cooking lessons do not make confu- sion in the regular schools. There is simi- lar arrangement in South Boston where the city pays the expense. There each class con- sists of twenty girls, making four hundred, whe take the course of twenty lessous. In the cooking department of the Industrial school in North Bennett street, Boston, where the whole expense is paid by private charity, there are one hundred and seventy-fve girls taught.
 This is useful work. Whether or net such work should be done at public expense is a question. But there is no question about it's

AT R REST.


 The expected end came yesterday. and Henry Ward Beecher rested from his labors, dying easily, as he had often expressed the wish that he might. There is nothing to add to that which has already been said concern ing the life work of this wondrous man. His death causes sorrow throughout the civilized world. Wherever the precepts of the Chris tian religion have penetrated, his words and his fame have followed. It is well said that "in exalted realms of power and intellectual culture not more than in the humble abode of honest poverty and obscurity, his praises are coupled with expressions of heartfelt grief. In the cabin of the freedman not less than in the palatial dwellings of mighty rulers, the recital of his virtues will mingle with prayers for the bereaved ones who have greatest reason to mourn his loss." The im- press of his mighty mind and heart will long

FASHIONS FOR THE DEAD.
How the Customs of Dressing fer the
 Grave Have Been Changed.

How the Customs of Dressing fer the
 Grave Have Been Changed.
 From the Inter-Ocean.l
 There have been within the last few years many marked changes in the conduct and in the accessories of funeyals. The changes have been brought by influences not clearly de6nable. One old lady who died not long ago lay in her narrow casket robed in pill grim suit of brown broadcloth, the cape covering her shoulders and shrunken form and girdle holding the gathers about the waist. A small close, little felt bonnet was worn, and the infusion of some chemical gave the face 8 most lifeliks appearance. A favorite funeral gown is the modified Greek dress, such as Mary Anderson, Miss Eastlake and Ellen Terry have been seen in. These girdle or braided cape being used as a finish. The fabric used is some fine flannel or worsted cloth of yellowish white color
 Not two years ago the wife of rich young west-sider was dressed in 8 fac -simiIie cos tune of that worn by Viola Allen in s'Vir- ginius." Her sickness had been very brief and when "the final summons" came the body retained it's lovely round contour. In the coffin the arms and neck were bare, the yellow hair was arranged in loose ringlets ! about the face, and necklace of pearl beads encircled the throat.
 The winding sheet has been revived, and if the rumor one gives ear to can be credited some very prominent people will 'wrap the l drapery of their couch about thsm' when they go hence. The quotation is hardly per l tinent, for in place of the cold, white wind ing sheet ot the .'sailor boy" plaid of white billiard cloth, made after the style of Sir John Moere's sable robe, is considered the thing So far the winding sheet has been used in Chicago at the bier of young | men, and then the funeral services have been conducted with great privacy.
 Another innovation at funerals is the evening or vesper burial. Services are helG at the residence late in the afternoon, the | friends retire immediately afterward and al nightfall the coffin is placed in the underta | ker's carriage and driven to the vault, fol lowed by single coupe. This programn. is becoming very general in west. side circles and is preferred to any other arrangement when the remains are taken out of the city ] for burial.

ed with by unjustifable English competi.

The German Fishery association lately l asked the German Chamber of Commerce to
 put premium on seals, it being maintained that these animals are most destructive to the fisheries. The petition was refused. The l association, in support of it's views, stated that full grown seal requires ten pounds of 1 fish day for its food, making 3,650 pounds 1 in year. At the same rate 1000 seals would consume the enormous quantity of 3,650, 900 pounds year. As the seal is faithful at tendant upon herring shoals, it causes enor
 nous havoc among species of fish which is
 one of the greatest sources of revenue to the fishermen on the North German coast It is
 maintained that these depredations have greatly decreasedsthe quantity of fish in recent years. Complaints of the serious destruction of fish by seals have also lately been made by Swedish fishermen in the Baltic.
 Corporations have no souls, especially rail road corporations. An agent was sent out on trip through the country to advertise a western railroad by means of little "pasters," as they are called, which he had to moisten with his tongue and stick on mail boxes, shed posts, show windows and other places where they would catch the public eye. He had not been out more than week before he lost his appetite and could not eat even the most tempting meal, and at last his condition caused him such anxiety that he called on a physician for treatment. The man of medi- cine piled him with questions, ascertained the kind of work he was doing, and finally secured one of the "pasters." As soon as the physician examined it the cause of the pas senger agents inability to enjoy regular meals was plain, and the agent was informed that the glue on the back of the s'pasters" was very nutritious and that he was contin- ually nourishing himself by licking them. The fears of the agent were immediately dis pelled, and considering that the whole thing was a good joke on himself told the general manager of the road about it upon his return to headquarters. But the next time he was sent out to advertise the line he received 8 note from the general manager stating that the company, in view of the fact that the glue on the ''pasters" was nourishing, could not allow him expenses for board, and the fact that he would have to satisfy the crav- ings of hunger by licking glue would make him diligent in the discharge of his duty.

Lactart and Honey, What is ite

A little while ago the general public began to hear more less about Lactart and Honey, as a cure for colds and great deal of curiosity was stirred in regard to it. The success of the new preparation appears to have been remarkable, for it now ap- pears to have place in the stock of nearly every live druggist
 The secret of it's efficiency is very simple, for Lactart {the pure acid of mk) is combined in cer- tain proportions with honey, and together they form preparation that has wonderful curative power. People have always used sweet and sour in some form, in combination, as cure for coughs, hoarseness or sore throat; but nothing equal to Lactart and Honey has ever before been devised.
 The soothing and healing qualities of honey are united with the mucusdissolving power of Lactart, and the result is simply charming success Lac tart and Honey has so agreeable taste, that it is certain to become widely popular wherever it is tried and it's healing virtues tasted.

My friend let us reason together. Perhaps you are plejudiced against doctors and med icines, and you may have good cause to be so. Probably you have tried about all the 'ssure cures' you could hear of. You may have taken medicines by the gallon, and had many prescriptions filled at the drug store. No doubt you feel discouraged and think you can never be we'll again. In this you may be mistaken. Undoubtedly you have heard of the large number of cures I have made in this city The majority of these people when they came to see me felt just as you do, and now they well. Then why not come in and have little talk with mel It will cost you nothing and it may be to your ad- vantage to know your true condition and perhaps can show you, as I have so many others, how you may regain your health.
